From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting tech! But my use case was to stream my desktop 🙂
Wolf is really cool. It allowed my low powered laptop to stream from my main PC, while the main PC is being used for other tasks.
Without display? Ok. But wolf can stream xfce inside podman.
Yeah I understand that it can install a DE into the container and stream it, but I wanted to stream my existing DE with the same configuration.
